Vibecoded, from what I see in the git log.

I think so too. I wish all projects had a tag with amount of AI usage. It's not that vibe coding is bad on its own, but it makes me worried about project's future (ease come, easy go).

  Easy go where? It’s open source, fork it.

    I can't and don't want to maintain all software I use. I need to be picky. There's a big difference between putting money or time into a community of builders and learning in the process (myself or growing others) and maintaining a vibe coded project. That's why I want to know right away which projects are vibe coded so that I don't put any effort into them. You're free to apply different criteria to software you use, but we're talking about having information to make an informed decision here.

      I am actually hoping this is a future where it does become possible. At least on top of what is generally more-than-good-enough (Linux kernel, base GNU system with the compiler toolchain, basic desktop environment...). So I'd like to have fully reproducible builts for a dozen or two apps I use seemlessly integrated into my laptop and phone update mechanisms. And yes, my smart TV, router, ereader and note-taking apps... However, infinite forking also means harder to benefit from others' improvements.

        I'd definitely be interested in moving towards such setup if I could reliably and easily accomplish it. There are already people who vibe code all the tools they need. Personally, so far I got best results by carefully selecting a small number of apps and devices with good track record and community around them (think Emacs that's been around for decades, but also KOReader, Linux, AntennaPod on Android and many others) and supporting those in various ways. I might vibe code an extension or config for the apps, but then I still understand what it does and why. AI is yet to change that. I use LLMs daily at work, but software maintenance remains problematic. Producing stable software in unstable times is actually what pays my bills. Edit: And yes - if you fork, upstreaming is a problem. It's unfair for original software maintainer to need to review, test and integrate vibe coded code.

  This wasn't a flag? Store-only by design: installing it proves delivery of an app the USB package never contained.

Even the homepage copy is LLM output. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to point out. > Charge a Kobo Clara BW (N365) and connect it over USB. Other models are refused, not guessed at.

Yes. Also from looking for device compatibility: > Tested on one device: the Kobo Clara BW (N365, device code 391), firmware 4.45.23697. Every device write is gated on an exact match of framebuffer identity, geometry, device code, serial model prefix, firmware version and kernel release, so a different reader is refused rather than guessed at. I can't stop reading "gated" on LLM output lately. Anyways, I wish this worked on my Libra :<

Was it the "AI Command Center" app that gave it away? That could actually be pretty cool. Read a book on the deck with the vibemill running in the background.

Isn't everything vibecoded ?
